Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho has sent a strong signal, indicating that he was appalled by comments made by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Effiduase-Asokore, which suggested that he is corrupt.

...

Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho, earlier preferred that the matter was referred to the Privileges Committee for investigation.

But going by his conviction not to have speech criminalized, the Speaker noted how unwilling he was to refer matters to the Privileges Committee, even in his days as the Deputy Speaker.

The nominations were announced by the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Edward Doe Adjaho, in Parliament Friday.

...

Making a ruling on the matter, Mr Adjaho said he would adopt the late Ala Adjetey's position on the issue.

"What he did was that he announced the appointment and urged anyone who had any objection against any of the appointees to lodge a complaint with the leadership of his or her party.
The only variation I will make is to ask that petitions should be lodged with the Clerk of Parliament, instead of the leadership of the House," he said.

"My understanding of 'consultation' is that it is not binding on the President to seek approval from Parliament.
We cannot recommend approval when the Constitution says consultation.
If anyone has any objection, he or she should lodge it with the clerk by close of day on Monday," Mr Adjaho added.

Mr Edward Doe Adjaho, Deputy Minority Leader, said the House should have taken a vote on the budget and asked if that could be done judging form the numbers present.

As at 1007 hours, the Chamber was barely full.

Standing Order 48 (1) of the Parliament of Ghana states "the presence of at least one third of all the Members of Parliament besides the person presiding shall be necessary to constitute a quorum of the House."

Mr Adjaho suggested that the House took a short break while the leadership of both sides marshaled members to continue with business in the chamber.
